Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the dialogue regarding the
History of CHAT and potential ISCAR panel. Your comments have both
helped to outline the scope of the topic and key readings while
providing key contributors to the potential list. I will try to
summarize a bit from your feedback and perhaps a proposal will take shape.

Peter hit the nail on the head by outlining the complexities when we ask
what is CHAT? What is it not? Where did it come from? How has it
evolved? Lois cogently brought up the issue of the definition of
historical lenses, contributing the question of who is allowed to tell
the history / herstory and who is not? Tony further elaborated on the
issue of how far one can stray from Vygotskian roots to be considered
â€œgroundedâ€
